# Build

This plugin can be built with Bazel, and two build modes are supported:

* Standalone
* In Gerrit tree

Standalone build mode is recommended, as this mode doesn't require local Gerrit
tree to exist.

## Build standalone

To build the plugin, issue the following command:

```
  bazel build @PLUGIN@
```

The output is created in

```
  bazel-bin/@PLUGIN@.jar
```

To package the plugin sources run:

```
  bazel build lib@PLUGIN@__plugin-src.jar
```

The output is created in:

```
  bazel-bin/lib@PLUGIN@__plugin-src.jar
```

To execute the tests run:

```
  bazel test //...
```

This project can be imported into the Eclipse IDE:

```

```

## Build in Gerrit tree

Clone or link this plugin to the plugins directory of Gerrit's
source tree. From Gerrit source tree issue the command:

```

```

The output is created in

```
  bazel-bin/plugins/@PLUGIN@/@PLUGIN@.jar
```

This project can be imported into the Eclipse IDE:
Add the plugin name to the `CUSTOM_PLUGINS` in `tools/bzl/plugins.bzl`, and
